I had one of my photos published on Torontoist last January. I wish I had known at the time, it would have made me happy. It was this photo:


I put some more stuff in my etsy store. I did a lot of housecleaning and laundry. I skipped two days on this blog, oops. I'm trying to write in it every day for the sake of continuity.

It's hot. I hate living in this house when it's summer. It's frustrating because when I go downstairs the foyer is nice and cool, and when I go in the basement to do the laundry, it's so nice and cool down there, it's lovely. The basement apartment was for rent recently and I did think about moving down there. But I think we are going to move closer to David's work.

A new blog

This is where I show my artwork and photos, and also other people's artwork and photos. Sometimes I will probably talk about stuff too.

My name is Melsky, I'm an artist from California who somehow ended up in Toronto. Before I lived here I lived in an isolated Mohave desert valley called Wonder Valley. It's been quite a change living right in the middle of a northern city.

I like Toronto

This albino squirrel lives on the grounds of a large mental hospital in Toronto. We used to live close to the hospital and I'm glad we don't any longer. But I miss the squirrels. Mostly I just wanted to put a photo on my blog and this is one I like. First posts in blogs are as akward as first dates.
